Vera looked over her shoulder when she felt someone watching her, raising an eyebrow as she caught a glimpse of a baby pink cape leaving a trail of constellations. If she remembered correctly...
She walked over and stood over the bush, leaning in to see what is supposedly a small child hiding within the leaves.
" I can see you, little one... May I ask why you've been following me? I've been able to sense your gaze for a bit now. "
There's a much bigger fatui activity in Nod-Krai than it were anywhere else at the moment ! It was obvious that it didn't mean any good . . . They always have to stick their noses into the lives of people residing in those islands .
Plus— . . . Wait a minute . Isn't this person that one woman she met back in Natlan ? Miss Vera ? The last time they had a conversation it was quite awkward , but . . . She seemed nice back then . Also , she didn't get to know her more since , well — firstly , she had her guard up and was outnumbered , and secondly — she didn't feel safe without Traveler around . . .
The small fairy decided to follow her a little though . Might as well get to know her deal on [Hiisi/Paha/Lempo] Isle .
She didn't seem hostile towards Paimon , so it's . . . Okay to drop her guard a little ? Also , Traveler can't be too far from her position . Especially because they aren't leaving this island without her !
Paimon flinched , the woman's sudden voice startled her — DEAR ARCHONS ABOVE— wait , she should've expected that , right ? She flew out of the bushes , surrendering immediately .
❝ A ha ha . . . Paimon's sorry , she didn't mean to be suspicious . . . ! Paimon is just . . . Wary ? ❞ Traveler's companion fiddled with her hands , sweating a little . She looked around to see if Miss Vera was alone . She laughed awkwardly as the woman pointed out her impractical approach . She isn't really the sneaky one . . .
❝ Yes , uh ! But Paimon really didn't mean it ! Paimon is so so sorry . . . ❞ She bowed her head a little .
